WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.559 Cacoday radio program and the phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight 2 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:11.880 seven four. Ross, you are missing out, dude. It is. 3 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.039 It looks like the it looks like a space cruiser in For those of you 4 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:22.000 who don't know, I am at our brand new Greensboro studios, which are 5 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:29.640 technically in high Point. But yeah, yeah, we just we relocated downtown 6 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.920 adjacent to where the ballpark is. They were building out some new studios. 7 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:45.240 I've been excitedly following it and got in yesterday yesterday afternoon, drove over from 8 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.439 Raleigh and I was just kind of setting everything up in here broadcasting. Does 9 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:56.679 it sound incredibly different the process? Completely? Oh okay, Well that's because 10 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.079 that's because I'm in space. So although it does look more empirey than anything 11 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.079 else in here, because it's all Matt Black with all the equipment and everything. 12 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.480 So all right, well for you, for all of you listening, 13 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.760 you'll be like, oh, that's cool. For Ross and I, if 14 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.719 it sounds slightly different, it is wildly unnerving and until we get used to 15 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.159 it, so but anyway, cool. Yeah. No, these are very 16 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.319 nice over here, so they have they have done a lot. If you 17 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.640 haven't been into downtown high Point in a while, and you're thinking, well, 18 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.879 why want I go there? Bar, They're doing a lot down here, 19 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.239 so this is this is very cool. So glad to be checking those 20 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.159 out. And yeah, just digging through the stories. Oh the day. 21 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:52.319 Hope everyone had a good weekend. Apparently a little a little rock slide or 22 00:01:52.359 --> 00:02:00.480 something caused seventy two of you to send me the collapsing Wyoming roads story Titon 23 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.560 pass over there pop, although I would point out that that is that that 24 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.039 particular highway to get to Jackson, Wyoming from the Idaho side. It's a 25 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:17.960 bit of a California funnel because you got you got the you got rich Californians 26 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.879 that have come into Wyoming. They love the tax situation. I don't know 27 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.960 if you know this. And then they go meet their moonbat buddies over I 28 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.800 like, Oh Sun and call Caldwell and those areas over in Idaho where they 29 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.080 have like the other big film festival. So you know, the locals know 30 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.919 how to get places. This is what I'm saying. So they're gonna be 31 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.080 five but yeah, no, it's crazy, man, when you have a 32 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.000 mountain Pasco. I'm trying to think of something in North Carolina, that would 33 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.120 be akin to it. I mean, you're just not dealing with the as 34 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:02.240 much elevation. But no, it's a that's a pretty crazy story. Although 35 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.680 I did see a little sliver of dirt still connected. And I grew up 36 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.919 with some dudes who would try that. You think I'm joking. They would 37 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.599 look at the dirt that's still on the side of it if you saw any 38 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.360 of the video, and they'd be like, Oh, I got that. 39 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.280 What you want to do is you just don't want to slow down. It's 40 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.639 simple physics. People. When you're up at I don't know how what elevation 41 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.919 of the past, but yeah, you're up around eight thousand, nine thousand 42 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.800 feet, you're basically lighter than air, so if you get enough speed, 43 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.240 you're just g It's like dudes jumping across the moon. Is what I'm going 44 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.319 to tell Californians who still want to use that road. And I've instructed my 45 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.000 friends back home, so we'll see if they trust the science on that. 46 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.759 But yeah, that is a pretty crazy story. But I just want to 47 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.199 let you know I've got it, because I've already been sent it three times 48 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.599 again this morning, so and we'll tweet out a link if you're like, 49 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.639 what the hell is he talking about? We'll get that out for you here 50 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:09.400 so you can you can gaze upon the fury of mother nature and and very 51 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:15.240 shallow water tables. You know, I twenty five, uh near between Buffalo 52 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.319 and Sheridan, Wyoming. I was I guess I would have been college aged 53 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.160 by then. That road just middle of the night gone. And you got 54 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.040 to understand, like, if you're driving on an Interstate Wyoming at night and 55 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:33.480 you're not maybe on that I eighty shot where you get all the truck drivers, 56 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:39.000 you could fall like that, you could fall into a giant pit that 57 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.920 used to be the road, and like there may not be another dude that 58 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.639 comes along for thirty minutes. So yeah, so that's wild times there, 59 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.439 all right. So coming up on the show, we got that checkbox there 60 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.399 do to do? Okay, very exciting. I know, normally it's a 61 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.120 master maybe the British Open, just because I like how it times out so 62 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.120 I can watch it during the show instead of doing my job. But I'm 63 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:14.439 sorry, having a major right here in North Carolina, it's gonna be a 64 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.680 fun week and it's not gonna be like the US Open. What was it 65 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.319 eight years ago, it's been what is the rotation on? Is it eight 66 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.639 years? Ten years? When it was at Pinehurst? I don't know if 67 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:35.480 you guys remember the last Open at Pinehurst? It was one billion degrees and 68 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:46.639 I don't believe I'm exaggerated. It was miserable hot and try to remember. 69 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.160 And the scoring was awful. I mean, don't get me wrong, Pinehurst 70 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:55.360 number two is a bear. I did the worst thing possible on that course. 71 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.879 During so this was going back to the Open. They had a media 72 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.800 Hey, come see the course and uh, you know, cry because we'll 73 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.160 show you where they're hitting it from. And that was like a week and 74 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.360 a half, two weeks before it and me and Brian the bad boardop went 75 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.639 down and they put us all. You know, they had all the different 76 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.959 media people and sponsors right, and they had stuck. I can remember what 77 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.399 hole we started, well, I think we started on nine, right because 78 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.079 they you know, it was everyone a shotgun start thing. So we were 79 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.879 at nine and I almost birdied it. Now, don't get me wrong. 80 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.920 They did not have the green speed set yet they didn't have the waste. 81 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.399 How the waste is if you know what I'm talking about. You know what 82 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.439 I'm talking about there you're thinking rough, but rough or sand, but that's 83 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.439 those are like layers and versions of that on Pinehurst too, depending on how 84 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.519 you can manipulate the ball, you're staying ants, if you can ground your 85 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.399 clubs, stuff like that. So it wasn't even they didn't have. It 86 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:09.680 turned up to miserable. Then it turned up to all right, a little 87 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.319 bit of a challenge, and I almost birdied the first hole, and I'm 88 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.959 like, what are they talking about with this course? And I would say 89 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:24.199 about twelve or thirteen holes in right on that very famous par three there as 90 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:33.720 you're coming in, I contemplated not playing anymore. It was going so horribly. 91 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.519 So that is and I'm not a horrible golfer, but I'm not a 92 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:43.319 good golfer. And they had a fore caddy with us, and if you 93 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.680 don't know what that is, basically that's a poor bastard's got to stand out 94 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.319 there and figure out where my drive went. That dude doesn't make enough money. 95 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.120 And at one point he puts his hands up and I thought he was 96 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.279 indicating it was over, and then he does the international sign for and I 97 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.040 realized at that point I was hitting a provisional. So now I'm pumped. 98 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.920 Man. We got a golf tournament, we got roads falling off. I'm 99 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:16.480 helming the one of the uh the Dreadnoughts in here with my space studio. 100 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.639 So yeah, gonna be a good morning. All right, we'll dive in. 101 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.079 We got some audio to get into, just just a bunch of stuff. 102 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.079 Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back in 103 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.519 just a few kc O Day radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three 104 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.360 four seven eight seven four. That'll that'll get you on the on the show 105 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:46.279 on this fine morn as. So they're trying to get my button bar to 106 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.679 connect between Hey look at that. All right, thanks for playing. That's 107 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:56.440 because we got audio. So NBA Finals, don't know if you're following that, 108 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.840 but of course thing going. And now I do have a beef with 109 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.559 the NBA Finals, and they're not the only sporting event with multiple games in 110 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:16.799 playoff situations, but like, when when did the NBA Finals? When was 111 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.639 when did that become three weeks? Like do the math on game one? 112 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.840 Like the and I think game seven is scheduled for what like the twenty third 113 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.080 or something. If it goes to seven I mean back when we were kids, 114 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.559 wasn't it just like a week? I think I think what happened is 115 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.840 right, It was the end of the season, right, and then Jordan 116 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.960 and Bird would walk over back to the you know, into the arena, 117 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.679 and then I think they just start, right. Was that our childhood? 118 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.639 That was our childhood? Right? Just there was? And now it's a 119 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.759 month almost. I mean, if you count the gap following the clinching of 120 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.919 the final spots, it's a month. Would you let me ask you this, 121 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.600 would you want to know that you are one game or one series away, 122 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.639 you know, depending on the sport, right, for a month? 123 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.639 For a month? Would you would you want that banging around in your head? 124 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.720 Especially if you finished Yeah, obviously you finished strong to get there. 125 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.639 You vanquished all of your opponents to get to the finals, and then for 126 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.320 a month you're in that position. And I look, obviously that's what makes 127 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.080 a top tier athlete a top tier athlete. And some can handle it and 128 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.799 some can't. And you know, this is going to irritate some of you 129 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:50.000 Panthers fans maybe, but I loved watching Cam Newton play. But that Super 130 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:58.639 Bowl, so you just there, you know, they're there there comes a 131 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.519 time when some athletes And that doesn't mean he couldn't do it in another situation. 132 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.639 Obviously he had some really high profile games. But I know me man, 133 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.440 and I would worry. It just seems like there's such a gap that 134 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.480 it's going to stop any sort of momentum that you might have. Yeah, 135 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.879 that's that's what I'm saying. I felt the same way about the Wolf Pagacty 136 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.440 state in the you know, in the in the tournament this past year. 137 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.679 I said that to him, like, there's like a big leg, there's 138 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.879 a big gap there, and they're playing their hot right now. They get 139 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.759 cool off in that time, yeah, or or you know, sometimes sometimes 140 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.120 it goes the other way. Sometimes you get a team that just comes in 141 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.799 and I don't know, they get the mindset right, and they kind of 142 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.639 limped in there, you know, a team with immen's talent that's been underperforming, 143 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.759 but and then all of a sudden they come, you know, and 144 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.399 then and then you get you get situations like you get one of my favorite 145 00:11:52.440 --> 00:12:01.519 Super Bowl parties ever, sitting in that room surrounded by Patriots fans. One 146 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.240 giant dude. I'm talking to giant dude, and we know what happened, 147 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:15.639 and obviously that season up until that point was perfect. But of course, 148 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.200 even though I want to talk about basketball or ancillary stuff surrounding it with the 149 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.240 scheduling so that we can do though when I was your kid, Brouh, 150 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.080 the reporters they don't want to talk about basketball. They want to sit there 151 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.840 and they want to find their their little woke moment. So what's the woke 152 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:41.759 moment in this case? Can you believe there's two black head coaches? Ross? 153 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.279 When you heard that? Were you near a fainting couch? I mean, 154 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.039 are you okay? When I learned, I damn near killed myself. 155 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.799 It's different for me because I'm in the media. I'm somebody following me all 156 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.720 the time with a fainting couch. So yeah, it's not. That's so 157 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.240 like Victorian England with the l like the carry chair kind of stuff. Now, 158 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.360 my carry chair is the one from three hundred. Yeah, it's really 159 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.039 nice. Have you seen it. It's made from gold. It's made from 160 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.080 gold and slave bones or whatever he had on there. So yeah, it 161 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:24.799 was do that thing with wild Does the pit come with the chair? Well, 162 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.360 there's so the there's false chairs that actually if you if you choose poorly 163 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.039 into the pit you go. So it's I've put a little, a little 164 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:41.080 indie Indiana Jones twist on it. So you think they want to talk about 165 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.679 basketball, but no, they want to talk about that. And kudos to 166 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:52.399 the Celtics head coach fielding this nonsense question. Look, if there's if there's 167 00:13:52.480 --> 00:14:01.480 one thing that basketball professional basketball, I I still fail to understand the hand 168 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:09.879 ringing over it is representation of black players and black coaches even and I go, 169 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.200 well, I got a lot of head coaches. Nobody's stopping a coach 170 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:22.399 who can win. Okay, No, that's that's not happening. So just 171 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.879 let him. Let him play the same of the player that can win. 172 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:31.159 Nobody cares. Yeah, don't care. I mean you're gonna have unique one 173 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.879 offs that are not racially motivated there, you know, stuff like guy comes 174 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.200 in there and he is he doesn't gel with the team. But that's you 175 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.639 know, now you're talking about performance. So listen to this question and answer 176 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.600 from the Celtics coach. Hey, Joe Ben school with Yahoo Sports. For 177 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.960 the first time since nineteen seventy five, this is the NBA Finals where you 178 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.519 have two black head coaches given the plight sometimes with black head coaches in the 179 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.720 NBA. Do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride 180 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.960 in this? How do you view this? Or do you not see it 181 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.440 at all? I wonder how many of those are being Christian coaches? You 182 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.360 see? Hey radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight 183 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:22.000 seven four. That'll get you get your crack in there here as we get 184 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.600 things rolling on this fine Monday morning, and we're going to start it with 185 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.919 a Donald Trump fact check. Apparently Litt something he said at what was it 186 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.840 Turning Points. I don't know what they call their conference over the weekend, 187 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.279 but immediately they had to rush out and debunk this over at NBC News. 188 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.200 Let's hear what he says. Go and stop people from robbing stores. You 189 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.559 go to some of these departments, who will five hundred people walk into the 190 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.279 source, They walk out with air conditions, They stripped the whole store, 191 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.240 The company goes out of business, the store is vacant for twenty five years, 192 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.480 The whole city becomes this. And if you do anything as a law 193 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.120 enforcement person, they take away your house, they take away your family, 194 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:12.519 they take away your pensick all right, So now was he talking about one 195 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:22.240 specific store? Obviously not. Is there five hundred people? I don't know, 196 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.000 man, I gotta I mean, what do you count? You saw 197 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.960 some of like Macy's getting run during the most mostly peaceful protests. I don't 198 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:37.200 know that there were five hundred in there. But what he is talking about, 199 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:45.799 and anyone who is not disingenuous in the way that they're they're listening to 200 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:52.480 it, he s he's talking about a scenario where people organized will go in 201 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.519 and through the use of numbers, right, this is this is a real 202 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:07.200 power in numbers situation here. Yeah, one person, although depending on where 203 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:14.000 you are, they won't do anything. So but you go in and you 204 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.400 have fifteen people with you know, they're with their mat with their face masks, 205 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:23.599 they got their bags, and they're just speed running whatever they want, 206 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:29.799 like it's the final part of supermarket suite, man, And then they're out. 207 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.640 And by the way, that's not some new iteration. That's literally a 208 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.680 way in which mobs will go in and do this. They've been crashing gas 209 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:45.240 stations for forever, man, So that's what he's talking about, a non 210 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:55.240 far fetched video evidence thing. And uh u no, no, he's lying. 211 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.720 Obviously he's lying. How do I know? Well, NBC News told 212 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.799 me, oh good, I did hook one of the Patriots fans. Dude, 213 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.000 you want to get Patriots fans. Don't just insult them, but inaccurately 214 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.559 insult them. It makes them take the bait and admit their season wasn't perfect. 215 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.720 My job here is done, thank you, sir. I thought Boston 216 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.279 Paul would slip into it. Oh wait, hold on, awesome, Paul 217 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.960 emailed me too. Are you remote? You sound like it? Oh? 218 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.160 Now you're now you're you're an audio expert. Huh is that from listening to 219 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.119 all of the undercover Mike stuff from the Strip Club investigation? What is is 220 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:49.640 that? How you get good at that? Sitting in the van? You 221 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.599 didn't even get to go in. You were the guy in the van, 222 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:59.480 weren't you? I know what's up anyway? So uh yeah, So Donald 223 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.720 Trump said that, and apparently he is a he's a big fat liar, 224 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:12.039 according to NBC News saying that did not happen. And again, remember the 225 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.079 standard for these fact checks and what you do is you want you say all 226 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:25.640 right? Both candidates said this, How would it then be? How would 227 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.920 it be processed by Snopes, and then once you do that, you'll get 228 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:32.039 a pretty good idea of whoever else you're listening to. I think they're so 229 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.400 hung up on the number five hundred. But he's not being literal. He's 230 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.680 it's it's nice. It's like saying, there's a million people pulled up to 231 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.160 the store and went in, and we've seen those videos, right, and 232 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.039 we saw all, yeah, a lot of them. We saw her in 233 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:47.480 the riots of twenty twenty during that summer, the summer A Piece of Love 234 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:48.880 or whatever was where you see these people come out. Yeah, there's tons 235 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.200 of them, and you could say easily there was a million people. It 236 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.759 doesn't mean there was a million people. He's just saying, this is the 237 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.599 thing that happened. And anybody that's what to videos in the past four years, 238 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.359 five years, or even worked retail these stores, know, is it 239 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.000 something that's happened right right, right right? And I was trying to think 240 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.160 that. I remember the macy remember the big Macy's looting thing that was going 241 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.160 on. I don't know if there was five hundred, but like that video 242 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:18.279 was wild because people had like they had they had it evenly across sections, 243 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.920 right, not everybody's looting shoes, some people are over looting bags or whatever, 244 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.839 and then some and I don't know if they had like a meeting that 245 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.160 day and everybody draws out of a bucket or how that works. But she's 246 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:37.200 arguing the number, which again is an exaggeration but kind of not really would 247 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.319 ross. You would say, during the summer of mostly peaceful love and protest 248 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.920 in Kumbai, ya that at during the peak summer weekends. Do you think 249 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.759 across the country five hundred people were looting on any given day during the summer 250 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.720 yet, Yes, but it doesn't even matter even if it was one person, 251 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.640 that this is something that's still happened, even if it's you could say 252 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.640 one point. Well, but that's what she's arguing. Yeah, no, 253 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.759 no, no, no, you can't. That's what she's arguing. Though 254 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:11.000 she's arguing that they weren't, that they were all independent entities, you know 255 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.680 what I'm saying. She was arguing that they were organized one or five hundred. 256 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.519 It is all a lot of times it is organized. Yeah, Mark, 257 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.160 he was working at aulta man they'd pull up there where a guy would 258 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.119 go in there with a trash bag, just go in there and just like, 259 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:23.680 you know, take anything he wants off the shelf, and they weren't 260 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.400 allowed to stop him. They finally stopped him because he punched a pregnant woman. 261 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.680 Yeah, I can't do that. Oh though some places you can so 262 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:40.920 or you can put a gun to their belly. So AnyWho, that's yeah. 263 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.359 So that's literally these sticking points for their argue. Well there was not 264 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.680 there was five hundred, and there could literally be five hundred and one people 265 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.519 looting your house right now, and she'd be like, that's not five hundred. 266 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.240 Why are you exaggerating ross, But five hundred people came into my house 267 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.319 today. Well, the one thing he would want for the press in the 268 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.680 United States with somebody that exaggerated the facts. Yeah, no, that's fair, 269 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.559 that's a that's a good point. Yeah. Can you imagine holding you 270 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.279 in the office like that President of the United States and you're just a big 271 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.400 liar all the time, lying about everything. Well, here's the thing. 272 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.160 It's exaggerating when we exaggerate, and it's no like if let's say Marky sent 273 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.240 you to go get to target or where I don't know where she sends you, 274 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.319 but she sends you somewhere to acquire something and you come back looking like 275 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.079 you just landed the beaches of Normandy. And she said, what's wrong? 276 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.680 There's like a million people? Yea? Does she go, I can't be 277 00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:42.160 buried to a liar? Is that that's how it goes? Pic video? 278 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.039 And then and then it's a bunch of people sitting around like trying to guess 279 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:52.839 inauguration crowd sizes. Yet it's understood that it's exaggeration, it's hyperbole. Right, 280 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.200 it's not exactly I'm not going to actually count the number of people. 281 00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.680 I'm just saying there's a lot of people there. Yeah, yeah, I 282 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.079 mean this is you know what it is. You have to strip away the 283 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:11.400 human to do a lot of it. Now, Donald Trump exaggerates, and 284 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:18.559 when Donald Trump says stuff, he says stuff that's not true a lot. 285 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.000 But the question is is it exaggerated in what he's saying. Is he saying 286 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.519 it to make a point? Is he conflating two things? Is he speaking 287 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.880 in the way that he speaks? Look if Biden is exaggerating, but he 288 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.920 is exaggerating to a point. I'm trying to think of what would be a 289 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.200 good example from from that political perspective, Like that stuff just rolls off of 290 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.920 me. That's not where I'm gonna sit here and have beef with somebody, 291 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.640 you know. But yet we're we're sitting there and we're trying to figure out 292 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:04.640 whether they won the thing. It's more offensive is heard indicating that like like 293 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:11.000 people are only individually making these decisions. And then it's like it's like, 294 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.160 uh, it's like a zombie outbreak. Right, nobody showed up to loot 295 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.200 except one guy, and then other people saw it and they just they were 296 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.079 they were filled with the holy spirit of looting, right, and then just 297 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:27.960 boom, now everyone's looting. But the reality is, you know, you 298 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.440 have four dudes in a car, like all right, you got your master 299 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.880 ready, let's do this, and then the run in, grab whatever they 300 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.599 want, run out. Don't don't punch a pregnant lady. You might not 301 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:44.359 even get caught. That's where we find ourselves this morning. Hey, I 302 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:49.319 have a I have a quiz for you. You ready, Ross, you 303 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:56.160 haven't seen this story? The uh uh the shooter in Tennessee, the Nashville 304 00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:04.000 shooter whose manifesto is so dangerous, so dangerous? Who paid for the gun 305 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:11.240 that was used? Who bought the gun? Since you know. These are 306 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.559 the conversations we uh, we generally want to have, right because they just 307 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.079 assume everything is from Bob who sits in the parking lot over at the you 308 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:25.200 know, the gun and knife show loophole. No, no, no, 309 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:32.240 no. Who paid for the gun that was used in the shooting in Nashville 310 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.519 in the Christian school? I have no idea. I would think the shooter 311 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.279 or maybe they got it from their parents' house or something. No idea. 312 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.400 I mean that that would be the natural conclusion, right, like the thing 313 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:48.000 you did, Ross paper. Yeah, I was unaware of this. Are 314 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:55.599 you sorry? Hey? And for those of you listening right now, go 315 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.000 thank god, I'm not Ross. No, you paid for it too. 316 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.640 That go. In fact, when we come back, I'll explain what's that 317 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.440 about while you feel guilty? Hang on. So yeah, let's just go 318 00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:14.319 ahead and get into this little nugget of info that I saw. Let's see 319 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:22.400 last night, it was after I sent the prep to Ross. I was 320 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.920 trying to get a sleep on and then boom, I see this little story 321 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.039 here. All right, new report. Let's check this out. A report 322 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:37.440 by the Tennessee Star indicates the I'm not going to say dirtbag's name, but 323 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.759 the twenty eight year old transgender woman who shot and killed six people back in 324 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:49.319 March of twenty twenty three, after penning the manifesto so dangerous they had to 325 00:26:49.359 --> 00:27:00.839 hide it from you, sheds a little light on exactly how this was funded. 326 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:11.680 So, according to reports, the shooter who had previously purchased a weapon. 327 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.160 According to her parents, they said that they knew she had bought one 328 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:27.920 gun in the past and that she had sold it and they were not aware. 329 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.680 Is that she actually had acquired three the AR fifteen. For anyone who 330 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:38.000 has purchased one, they are not inexpensive, if you know, if you're 331 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:51.000 going with the decent model there and let's see here. I want to make 332 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:57.599 sure that I'm breaking this down exactly how they're reporting it. That had been 333 00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:02.480 the initial reporting that you know, with the AR fifteen all of that. 334 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:10.720 However, according to numerous media reports, including CNN, who initially claimed that 335 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:18.440 the shooter was in possession of an AR fifteen military style rifle, they were 336 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:29.519 not not during the not during the attack. Let's see what is Brian Wilson 337 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:36.119 is the guys the because they're also quoting a local radio host there all right, 338 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.680 So specifically, and you're going, wait, why are they AR one 339 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.720 one AR pistols and ar You should you know, educate yourself even if you 340 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:52.279 don't want to have one or either just you should you should check that. 341 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.240 But specifically, what was in possession was the AR pistol, a handgun, 342 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:03.400 and then a carbine. So where did the money come from? Specifically for 343 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:14.039 the Caltech? Was it a Celtech sub two thousand? Not cheap? According 344 00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:22.000 to reports here in the Tennessee Star, the money was provided as part of 345 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:36.519 an education grant where they apparently did no due diligence. Yeah, the money, 346 00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:41.160 which initially was allocated and applied for as part of educational supplies grant, 347 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:48.000 was instead used to purchase weapons as well as to pay for training at a 348 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.960 local gun range. So I guess in that education side. But obviously if 349 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.720 you go to apply for it, you say you want it for I don't 350 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.799 know, some sort of training up at of our fine shooting ranges around these 351 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.119 parts. Uh, They're they're not going to give you the money, not 352 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:12.359 for a thing for books and stuff like that. Now, can people misallocate 353 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.799 the Yes, absolutely, and it probably is not the first time that people 354 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:22.960 have used essentially our money to uh, you know, for purposes that it 355 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:27.839 was not intended. I think COVID relief dollars were probably a good indicator. 356 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:37.200 Or the drunkest guy you went to college with. That was all. That 357 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:42.240 was always so wild to me because I didn't have I didn't have a bunch 358 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.319 of a bunch of scholarship or grant. I don't begrudge anyone who did. 359 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:53.680 I was really really tight, and because my family is not wealthy, and 360 00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:00.960 especially at that time, you know, my mom still got three kids at 361 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:07.119 home. I'm off in another place. She's a single mom, right, 362 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.599 so I would It was crazy to me when, especially when I lived I 363 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.599 lived with like seven other guys for two years. We had eight of us 364 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.880 in this big, big, big house. And like they they get checks 365 00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.480 for school stuff, and then all of a sudden they'd be like I bought 366 00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:29.200 I had one roommate. I'll tell this story. I had one roommate who 367 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:37.519 bought a He he was the marijuana guy, just constantly smoking pot. And 368 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:44.519 he bought like this four or five inch tall bud that looked like a Christmas 369 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.920 tree, and he built a little stand for it and put it in a 370 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.599 jar. Like it's a bonze eye ship and a jar kind of thing, 371 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.960 and his dumb ass would show it off at parties. What do you think 372 00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:02.920 he got stolen? Obviously, I'm pretty sure that that was education funding, 373 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:10.799 So I understand that deal. Excuse me, by the way, if you 374 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:15.839 get whatever that I had prepare for, like at least another week, it 375 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:28.319 feels like of just coughing it no, actually five hundred more days of coughing, 376 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.559 so you've been warned. I think that's an exact number. Hopefully NBC 377 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:45.039 News doesn't fact check me. That's me having coughing fits off to the side. 378 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.079 I do apologize, all right. So Ross was just filling me in 379 00:32:49.079 --> 00:33:00.119 on a little housekeeping stuff. So because I was near death last week on 380 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:07.440 Wednesday, we did not get a chance to have Lieutenant Governor on and so 381 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.720 that has been moved to this Wednesday. So if you enjoyed that segment, 382 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.880 we'll have him on Wednesday, and then whatever he says will immediately be made 383 00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:19.759 into an attack ad by Josh Stein. So hey, it's you know, 384 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:34.359 we're into the general election season. That is awful anyway, So you know 385 00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.559 you want to if you want to be here when news is being made so 386 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.000 that you can hear it in context, so that later when you see like 387 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.319 a seven second clip on a commercial for the three thousandth time, By the 388 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:51.200 way, that's not an exaggeration. So much money is going to be spent. 389 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:58.599 At least you'll know what you know, what we were actually talking about. 390 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.799 So put that on your little your little calendar there, all right, 391 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.760 let me flip over to this thing. I don't know how the pecking order 392 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:15.000 goes, and I'm not trying to start a fight, but from a dude 393 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:20.639 perspective, processing this story the way that it hit my brain, I'm like, 394 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:34.239 ah. A firefighter was injured in Raleigh on Saturday. Potential head injury, 395 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:39.000 condition not critical. And I hope everyone's obviously okay here. I'm not 396 00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:46.000 hacking on any individual here. I'm just here's what happened. A Raleigh firefighter 397 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:52.000 was injured after trying to rescue While he was rescuing a tree trimmer who got 398 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:59.079 stuck in a tree in Raleigh, a thirty five foot ladder was used to 399 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.360 help reach him. However, in the process of rescuing him, the latter 400 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:07.039 shifted and moved and the firefighter struck his head again. He was taking the 401 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.159 hospital out of an abundance of caution since he did hit his head. But 402 00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:19.119 it sounds like it may be one of those uh situations where like, if 403 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.199 you're a guy, I don't want to go to the hospital. Remember one 404 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.719 of the very first, one of the very first stories I think Ross and 405 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:36.119 I probably ever did was harpoon head dude. Oh man, now down thinking 406 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:43.960 nostalgically about harpoon head dude. What an amazing example of a modern day guy. 407 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:50.960 Guy has a harpoon through his head and wouldn't go to the hospital. 408 00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:00.360 I'm gonna repeat that, he has a harpoon through his head. And I 409 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.920 know what you're thinking. You're thinking, bye, you know, like, 410 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:07.440 what do you meet with a little one or off to the side. No, 411 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.559 No, like after he eventually his wife or somebody probably I'm sure his 412 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.079 wife made him go to the hospital. Yeah, it's just a complete dude 413 00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:22.400 thing to put it off as long as possible. Yes, completely and now 414 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.559 and by the way, do you think she did it because she was concerned 415 00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:30.840 or do you think because he was puncturing her nine thousand pillows on the bed 416 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.920 probably makes sure of both. Okay, all right, on my pillow but 417 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.599 also, hey, I don't want you to die. Yeah yeah, yeah 418 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.840 yeah. He had a harpoon in his head, and it's like, no, 419 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:45.559 I'm good, I'm god fine, Look i'm talking. I'm here, 420 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:49.320 I'm walking through it. Well, I gotta turn sideways, but I'm walking 421 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.880 through the door. Look at that. Remember the last I'm fine. Last 422 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.920 time, I was like a lot of pain, like the worst pain I 423 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:59.000 felt. I was a hot sauce. You ate the shot? Oh that 424 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:00.960 was bad? Yeah? No, I remember it was like, oh, 425 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:05.679 this is bad, Like just standing in the kitchen. Wife wasn't sympathetic to 426 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.840 you nod the hot sauce. No, she was like the tears coming down 427 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.159 my cheek. I'm like, oh my god, this is bad. I'm 428 00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.320 like, what is going on with my mouth? It's stupid. I'm just 429 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.559 gonna take some ivy prof and I'm just gonna take some tile and alms. 430 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:20.800 This is dumb. It'll go away. And then I'm like, this is 431 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.840 I couldn't even talk. You would talk in the pain. And I finally, 432 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:27.320 finally I went to the dentist and they're like they're like, your wisdom 433 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.679 teeth, they're coming in. Yeah, They're like, we need to take 434 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:31.800 these out, and I'm like, I thought that was like because I was 435 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:36.039 like forty, but there's not like forty years old. What are you telling 436 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:37.440 me? I both had ours out in the last few years. Yeah, 437 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:43.519 it's crazy, man. They're like, how long have you been dealing with 438 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.360 this? I'm like, oh, a long time. Wasn't it painful? 439 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.360 Oh? You have no idea? Why why didn't you come in? And 440 00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:54.519 I'm not I'm busy. I'm busy. I got life and stuff. That's 441 00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.159 how we roll. So with that aside, that's why I brought this story 442 00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:05.760 up. If you're a tree trimmer and you get stuck in a tree, 443 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:13.079 do other tree trimmers make fun of you? Right? I imagine that's the 444 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:17.119 thing where you probably you probably waited a long time before he called anyone. 445 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.440 Right, you're like sitting, Oh dude, you're already you're already peeling the 446 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:22.280 sun. Yeah, we're going here too. This is where I die. 447 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.320 Now, You're like, this is nice. It's got leaves. I'll wait 448 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.519 for the leaves to fall off, and then somebody will see me the right 449 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.480 come fall. They'll all collect under the tree and you can just jump into 450 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:38.119 them. Yes, look at that, and you didn't have to bother anybody 451 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.000 that. I'm sure there's food up there. You have by like a squirrel 452 00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.719 or something. Yeah? Birds? Are you gonna land and stuff eggs? 453 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.760 Oh? Free eggs in this economy? Do you know what eggs cost? 454 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:59.760 Yeah? You do, Guy's got free eggs any and of view. I 455 00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:04.440 don't know exactly where this was. I just don't what's the pecking order there? 456 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.320 Does a firefighter get to make fun of you? I mean, I 457 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:14.119 know tree is not well. I guess it kind of is, right, 458 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:21.760 kittens and stuff get up there. He probably don't want to rescue kittens. 459 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:28.960 Is a firefighter, but it's you know, it's part of the gig. 460 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:31.519 So I don't know. I don't know if. I don't know if the 461 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:37.760 Old Tree Trimmer Convention is gonna be rough for that dude or what. I'm 462 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:45.840 glad everyone's okay, but it's like it's like a dude who teaches rock climbing. 463 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:47.800 He's like, oh, help me, I'm on the side of this 464 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.880 mountain. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Guy's gotta come along with 465 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.119 a ladder. I'm not even gonna pick on the firefighter, although technically, 466 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.800 you know, it's your ladder, bro, But I understand things happen. 467 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.440 I'm going to assume, in all seriousness, I'm going to assume that dudes, 468 00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.599 you know, it was harnessed or roped and things got twisted up and 469 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.800 but still I just saw that, and I'm like, oh man, I 470 00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.719 don't think i'd tell the other tree trimmers. Yeah, Bob, where you 471 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:27.519 been all day? Oh man? Yeah I did. I had this, 472 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.760 I had this other project. It was out of town. You wouldn't know 473 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.760 about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah Canada. Yep, No, been 474 00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.840 working on that up in Canada all day. Now you wouldn't. You wouldn't 475 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:46.159 know the tree anyway. Nothing to see here. Let's see doesn't say? 476 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:52.599 Uh, it doesn't look like the tremor himself suffered any injuries. So again, 477 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.960 praying for the firefighter there. But what a weird story, man, 478 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:06.440 all right? So Sayan Francisco, just a just get one good idea after 479 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:14.679 another. I don't know if this is intended to do anything except just funnel 480 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.079 as much taxpayer dollar as possible to one of the richest places in the world. 481 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:29.599 But why not they or if it's intended to cut down on all these 482 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:37.320 people are still in tied you know, everything in the CBS for food and 483 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.920 not you know, as part of a criminal enterprise. It's just they need 484 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:46.840 bread and they can apparently you can convert fifteen dollars small tide washer things to 485 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:52.920 bread or something. I don't know. Well they have they've come up with 486 00:41:52.960 --> 00:42:00.039 a new moon bat idea, which I'm sure will work perfectly, actually kind 487 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.360 of will based on the way they have this financially set up. So we'll 488 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:08.880 let you know what insanity they are up to. And we're gonna have to 489 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:17.199 get into Cuban missile Crisis part two, so I'm sure that's gonna be that'll 490 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.519 be fun. And that's kicking off here in just a few days, so 491 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:24.599 we'll give you the details on that next here on the CaCO Day radio program. 492 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:29.960 I think you're fear mongering, and I don't think that that is helpful 493 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:36.280 in keeping the peace and protecting democracy and conserving whatever. Blah blah blah. 494 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.000 I'm just saying, reading about what's going down into France today, you know, 495 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:42.840 with Theron, I see it's little shady, a little shady. I 496 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.639 would they're having elections over in Europe. I was just looking at the German 497 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:51.239 results Over in Germany, the ruling party lost eighteen percent, which is I 498 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:57.079 guess the progressive party there. Right wing parties picked up the main party picked 499 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.199 up ten percent, all on their own. And what's scaring the crap out 500 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.840 of them is they're really young. The voters they hemorrhaged the progressive side are 501 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:10.159 very young. A lot of them went to the right, some of them 502 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:14.440 just dipped out. They just don't want anything to do with it. So 503 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.519 that's over Germany. I'm trailing so bad. I'm gonna I'm gonna dissolve parliament 504 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.760 and move the elections. What you've never dissolved to parliament and moved elections to 505 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:28.360 protect democracy. Joe Biden comes out and he's like, oh, I'm just 506 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.599 just you know, the dissolving is the Senate in the House. I'm moving 507 00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:37.320 the elections to next March. Like what you feel you can't do that? 508 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.119 What? No, you can't? Well? Ross, what is the word? 509 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:44.280 Listen, let me ask you a question, all right, mister fearmonger, 510 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:52.159 give me one example of where a European country held an election then immediately 511 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:58.559 started dissolving legislative bodies only to hold another election, but now under the purview 512 00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:02.159 of a newly established boty can you think of you can't. You can't happen 513 00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.280 in Spain. No, no, no, no, technically they didn't dissolve 514 00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:13.000 it. They pretended it didn't happen. I'm talking about where they like, 515 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.519 I don't know, just get rid of the uh, the legislative body, 516 00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:23.400 Like, you can't come up with any examples in Europe that might be connected 517 00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:27.920 to an anniversary last week. You can't think of any examples where that has 518 00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:32.639 happened. I challenged you, and you failed it. The same democracy, 519 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:40.239 right, Oh yes, Spain was crazy. I remember remember what I was 520 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:44.239 like when that story broke. I remember doing that on the air. I'm 521 00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:49.039 like, this is madness. So basically last year in Spain, like the 522 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:52.719 elections didn't pan out how they wanted. So they're just like, oh those 523 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:58.320 elections die. Those were practice elections. No no, no, no, 524 00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.000 no, the real stuff's come under very tight parameters. And then you won't 525 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.920 be able to vote in the Catalan area. And yeah, anyway, I 526 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.159 was about to say, didn't they say that there? They said, well, 527 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:08.679 no, there's gonna be another election because that that one doesn't count. 528 00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:12.039 And plus, if you are the people over in this part of the country. 529 00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:16.039 You can't right because you keep voting that you don't want us or to 530 00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.440 be part of us anymore. Yeah, So the Catalan folks were not allowed 531 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.320 in that secondary and they brought riot police in to keep them from voting. 532 00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:30.079 To save democracy. I'm sorry, I forgot that. Oh I forgot to 533 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.280 add that. Can we get that as a drop of the button bar next 534 00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:38.159 time you see an audio clip where somebody on ironically like Nancy Pelosi or somebody 535 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:43.119 says, to save democracy, I just need that as a drop because you 536 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:52.559 can get away with so much if you say that to save democracy. Oh 537 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:58.360 yeah, it's getting It's wild. What's even more wild is that they kind 538 00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:04.119 of I guess maybe it's not, but it is a little how they pair 539 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:13.400 up these different elections and then the EU is somehow an oversight board. I 540 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.679 still have, as you can imagine, immense discomfort with that. But the 541 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:23.079 EU being the arbiter of what are and aren't fair elections, and then anytime 542 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:30.719 there is an election that doesn't really align with the EU apparently there was. 543 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:37.039 We had to redo those, got to redo those elections. Man, can't 544 00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:43.159 have those And you know what, what do you think will happen nothing. 545 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.639 What do you think they're gonna do? And and they look they know how 546 00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:53.039 to revolution over in France. Man, I've seen some stuff. I mean 547 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:57.039 they went pro like back in the day, but I mean they haven't had 548 00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:59.920 that kind of like swagger in a long time. Well, and to be 549 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:07.679 fair, who showed him how to do it? Right? Who directly before 550 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:14.039 that? Right? It's not like they Well, I mean I think right 551 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:19.760 their revolution was a little different, but I think they were inspired by someone 552 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:27.840 else. Things sound a little different this morning. It is because I am 553 00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:34.559 at our very I mean brand new. There was still film on one of 554 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:40.719 the screens studios in Greensboro. So yeah, doing the ninety four to five 555 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:47.639 thing today, and it feels like a spaceship in here. It's really nice. 556 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:52.960 Ross. Do you know they make boards where all the light bulbs work? 557 00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:59.119 Were you aware of this? I've stopped stopped your fact checking. What 558 00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:01.960 do you NBC News Now? We're not five honor people? Yeah, like 559 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:06.360 the lights work? It's crazy. You sound like you're in like an Empire 560 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:12.199 escape pod. I would not know. Only cowards get into escape pods? 561 00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:15.760 Can we agree on this? So why are you calling me a coward. 562 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:21.280 By the way, during the break, I can get a little video connection 563 00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:27.079 with Ross's studio. He is completely tangled in his headphone cables. This is 564 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:32.079 in honor of the uh, the paratroopers in the Christmas lights. Yeah, 565 00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:36.800 it's in honor of the paratroopers that jumped into you know, on France. 566 00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:39.760 I have today and got tangled up in that tree. Don't cut me out. 567 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.079 Don't because disrespect them. This isn't because I'm an idiot, got tangled 568 00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:50.159 up in my my headphone cable. This is the troop on the tree trimmer. 569 00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.679 We got a three trimmer. Listen here. He sent me an email. 570 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:54.320 He's like, I don't know who it is, but I'm gonna find 571 00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:00.159 out. I'm sorry. I thought that was funny. So you got like 572 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.639 the good the good disease, like right out of the lab. Huh, 573 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.719 like the first you got the fresh new disease right out of the lab. 574 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:09.480 Oh man, dude, isn't that the worst? You've had? This too? 575 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.440 Where you're sick and then like a week later, even though you feel 576 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.440 amazing, right, you just feel and then all of a sudden, nature 577 00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:22.320 is like, nah, not so fast. Here's a coughing fit for five 578 00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.840 minutes for no reason that I can think of. Yeah, so, yeah, 579 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.800 I got that. It's it's good stuff, man, a little uh 580 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:37.159 not escape pod here. So but the microphone sounds very different, which maybe 581 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:39.519 you notice, maybe you don't, But to Ross and I, it's like 582 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:45.519 nails on a chalkboard. Even if it sounds good, it just sounds different 583 00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:50.840 because then you assume like a piece of your equipment. Soff so anyway, 584 00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:57.559 but that's what's up with that? And uh but really really nice. Plus 585 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:06.239 we're right next to the ballpark for the in High Point, so the Rockers 586 00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:10.079 stuff right here. And literally we are on the outfield wall, so from 587 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:16.199 the studios you're looking right out over the field. So that is super sweet. 588 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.960 It does you know? Now, granted that the Raleigh facilities have a 589 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:30.239 better view because they're much higher up in the air, which allowed us to 590 00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.159 install, like Ross the Ross's weather window, which is still boasting a one 591 00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:39.119 hundred percent accuracy rate. But now this is very cool, very cool. 592 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:44.400 All right, this is wild. If you haven't seen it, Ross, 593 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:49.519 have you seen the sniper shot in Florida through the computer? I have not. 594 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.159 Okay, I go to New York Post. It's on the right side. 595 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:55.400 It's like the second most story to see. You have it there. 596 00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:59.360 I'm sorry I should have sent it to you. All right, so this 597 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:07.039 is really this is movie stuff right here. Newly released footage from Florida police 598 00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:21.239 show the incredible moment a sniper shot a bank robber through a desktop computer between 599 00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:32.199 two hostages, killing the suspect. It's crazy. Ooh, I wonder if 600 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:37.280 I can port that computer through here. I'm afraid to touch anything in here. 601 00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:45.519 Movie. You've got to have the capability in that spaceship of a studio 602 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:50.199 to play the audio through the board from the from the PC right, I 603 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.960 mean that would make sense. I don't know. Is that something I want 604 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:59.880 to troubleshoot on the air. Probably not. I'll screw with it off. 605 00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:04.679 But all right, so check this out. Here's how the scene unfolds. 606 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:08.199 A thirty six year old man goes into a bank Fort Buyers. It was 607 00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:15.719 a Bank of America, took two people hostage. You know, did the 608 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:20.559 thing that you see in the movies. Even if you're not a bank robber 609 00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:24.159 right once they got you, yeah, you don't be. You don't want 610 00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:30.280 to be going and checking the window all alone. So you hide behind hostages, 611 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:37.800 coward little human shield action, what are you hamas? And then all 612 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:43.280 of a sudden, the robber is getting frustrated, right because police are here. 613 00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:49.800 He realizes he's not getting out of there. Desperation is setting in. 614 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.519 He grabs, he crouches behind the hostages, and then as they're negotiating, 615 00:52:54.679 --> 00:53:00.320 he grabs one of the hostages into a headlock and put a knife to her 616 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:07.159 throat. And police went, all right, this thing is not moving in 617 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:13.840 the right direction. So you see swat officers around surrounding the bank. They've 618 00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:24.079 taken up positions, and a a guy one of the officers crouches down and 619 00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:29.800 the other officer uses him as a rest, which, by the way, 620 00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:34.800 let I have do you know how many rifles have been shot off my damn 621 00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:38.039 shoulder? I don't recommend this and hearing protection, by the way, but 622 00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:45.079 I've been the rest for a dozen at least a dozen of our hunters over 623 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:52.599 the years. Like because you know, you get out, especially into kind 624 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.800 of the prairie part of Wyoming, there not trees, sagebrush is not a 625 00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:00.599 good rest. So the high school kid was driving you to where you get 626 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:07.880 to hunt, you use him and trying to hold still. I'm just I'm 627 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:10.760 just pointing this out, like, yes, these guys are these guys are 628 00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:15.320 super trained. I'm not questioning that. But still, you're human, you're 629 00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:21.280 you're you're a rest, but you're also a movable rest versus being able to 630 00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.239 brace up like on a table or something along those lines. So just I 631 00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:29.840 just want to I just want you to understand the complexity of the shot. 632 00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:40.159 I gotta be honest, like situationally it how do I how do I ask 633 00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:52.119 this what gets you to the point where your boss because right, every every 634 00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.599 one of these situations in the movies, there's always some screamy captain who's never 635 00:54:55.679 --> 00:55:00.840 happy even though you keep solving everything. Yeah, I know, it's still 636 00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:04.360 it's like Carl Winslow and die Hard right down there on the yes, the 637 00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:07.280 street with the captain who's an idiot. Yeah, yes, right, but 638 00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.360 somebody had to be like, all right, take that shot, because that 639 00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:17.199 shot, if it doesn't go well, you melon one of those hostile hold 640 00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.079 on probably not the polite way to say that, you know what I mean, 641 00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:25.000 You shoot one of those hostages in the head, because for because you 642 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:30.920 have an erratic suspect with a knife, like the amount of confidence you have 643 00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:36.159 to have in that, but you're looking at a situation that is quickly escalating 644 00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:42.199 into a really bad place. It reminds me of the Captain Phillips shot where 645 00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:46.880 the Seals shot him through the window of the tiny submersible. Member was yes, 646 00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:51.440 sync sync up though, right? Yeah, that's different though, right, 647 00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:53.360 because they had time to plan in a new ere. This is different 648 00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:58.159 because it's a fluid situation and you have all the hot you know, well, 649 00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:00.639 I know, I think there's a lot of similar You're right, they 650 00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:04.119 did have time to plan kind of. Remember they didn't have line of sight 651 00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:08.599 on two of these dudes. They they knew where, they knew where Phillips 652 00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:15.079 was. If you watched that scene in the movie and then you watch I 653 00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:20.119 saw a thing where they actually broke it down, I want to say, 654 00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.079 Jock is it, JOCKO if you watch Shako at all, I think he 655 00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:25.679 did a breakdown of this. Yeah, it's diagram of it, and the 656 00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:31.920 diagram alone without the bobbing down the water is insane. That. Yeah, 657 00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:38.599 a thousand things are going on, and because you have really highly stressed individuals, 658 00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:45.039 you have Captain Phillips obviously, right, he's he's in this he's in 659 00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:51.800 that situation, and you know, every step of the way he knows that 660 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:57.239 either these guys are going to kill him or hell fires coming through into this 661 00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:02.679 thing. Something's happening, and so you're probably just like, don't move an 662 00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:07.159 inch, don't move. But you have these you know, you have the 663 00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:12.320 Somali pirates. They're moving around, they're loud. The one guy kept standing 664 00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.480 up, and you have to not make one shot. You have to make 665 00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:19.760 what three? Whether they shoot three simuled no or maybe it was was it 666 00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:27.840 four? That's crazy. But in this situation, uh, you know, 667 00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:35.440 you're sitting there and uh, guys already repositioned himself three times, and you 668 00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:42.800 take that shot. The sniper aimed his rival with the suspect who you could 669 00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:46.679 see a small smidgeon of the head over the top of a computer monitor. 670 00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:53.960 And you also have the concern of what happens to that round when it passes 671 00:57:54.039 --> 00:58:00.840 through something. Now, And I don't pretend to understand all of the ballistics 672 00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:04.639 there, I mean, I guess I kind of do, because I understand 673 00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:09.079 I have a pretty good understanding of rifle rounds, speed drop charts, things 674 00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:12.960 like that, just from over the years. As many of you probably do 675 00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:16.199 too, if you do a lot of hunting, or you like distant shooting, 676 00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:25.840 but still you hit something, it's like it's like watching. It's like 677 00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.000 watching somebody like Chris Kyle explain how they're setting up a shot at at like 678 00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:37.480 fifteen hundred yards and they're getting into they're getting into all that math that you 679 00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:42.440 didn't want to go to. Now. Granted this is closer, but holy 680 00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:46.039 hell, keep talking to me, Keep talking to me. I want to 681 00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:50.960 know what's going through your head right now, said the negotiator, right before 682 00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:55.519 they shot them through it. I don't know if that's just like an action 683 00:58:55.599 --> 00:59:00.000 movie that I was just gonna say. I didn't think this was an action 684 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:04.039 movie. And then you used a line you shoot the guy and he like 685 00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:07.039 you shoot him into the freezer, and you're like, chill out, put 686 00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:09.039 him on ice. You know what I mean? How many guys have thought 687 00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:15.039 of what they would say? How many raise your hand? All right, 688 00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:19.400 I'll look at that. Every dude just drove off the road. No they 689 00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:23.199 didn't. You know why, because they're dudes and we can drive. That 690 00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:27.239 is wild, all right? You know what else is wild? Raced agic? 691 00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:31.519 In his vacation schedule. Amazing, Yeah, that's okay. We're going 692 00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:36.800 to do it to you next week. Oh yeah, after I almost died 693 00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.840 last week, then we're gonna do a vacation here next week. So good 694 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.760 to sound. Luckily I did escape the three reported shark attacks, but that 695 00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:50.480 was right in the area. Drand with you, I didn't even for a 696 00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:57.239 moment think that's a problem. Well, yeah, unfortunately we were exactly white 697 00:59:57.280 --> 01:00:00.920 where one of those that happened so long were right on it. Yeah, 698 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.840 so we were right near today. A day later we left that day that 699 01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:07.639 had happened. But yeah, luckily that's is that a suit made out of 700 01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:13.039 shark leather? I don't know what that is? Yeah? Where? Okay? 701 01:00:13.079 --> 01:00:16.800 Exactly. Yeah, we can talk as much as we want about anything 702 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:22.360 else, because the weather is going to be absolutely beautiful this week and into 703 01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:24.079 the weekend. Now what's going to change is that the heat's going to come 704 01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:27.760 back. For now, it's going to be comfortable low to mid eighties the 705 01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:30.960 next two days overnight lows upper fifties to low sixties, so not too bad. 706 01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:35.440 And then as we get into Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, especially increasing 707 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:37.079 heat and humidity, Big Ridge going to build over the southeast. We're going 708 01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:42.840 back into the nineties by Thursday and Friday. Humidity coming back and maybe starting 709 01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:46.000 to see temperatures get into the mid nineties by Friday Saturday in and around the 710 01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:50.000 Triangle. Try it a couple degrees cooler. Mountains are still going to get 711 01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:53.679 into the nineties. And I don't see any appreciable rainfall here maybe through the 712 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:57.960 upcoming weekend, Casey, So it's gonna be a pretty crazy week weatherwise. 713 01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.360 Yeah, that's absolutely. I got ads asolutely soaked yesterday in downtown High Point 714 01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:07.400 trying to yeah, get into my into the new studios here. So well, 715 01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:10.679 we're a good shape now. So oh good, glad I got it 716 01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:15.719 out of the system. All right, Shark whisper, we'll talk in an 717 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:19.079 hour, thank you. Yep, Yeah, there you go. Raced agic. 718 01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:23.559 He's literally Poseidon or something. All right, So all right, a 719 01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:27.119 little more on this, a little more on the Sniper Store. Is a 720 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.480 couple other things that are quite interesting, and then uh, yeah, I 721 01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:37.519 mentioned a little something about the Cuban missile crisis. I don't think this will 722 01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:42.440 be that, but yeah, hey we'll figure it out coming up case O 723 01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:47.760 Day Radio program. Uh Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that 724 01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:59.920 the gorsh Cough, the Kazan, the Pachine and the nick Nika Lai Chick 725 01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:06.360 chicattle who knows put it at the bottom of the ocean. Okay, Uh, 726 01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:15.039 the four vessels expected to arrive in Havana on Wednesday. But it's they're 727 01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:17.239 just they're just buddies. No, no, no, it's a Cuba said. 728 01:02:17.239 --> 01:02:22.159 They're like, it's just a friendly visit with historically friendly relations, and 729 01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.320 uh, you know, it's just normal stuff. Nothing to see here. 730 01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:35.840 And as you know, Russia having military equipment in Cuba, that's been a 731 01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:45.679 topic of discussion in the past. Yeh, excuse me, I think other 732 01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:49.519 than just basically a fun little story to make jokes about it, I don't 733 01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:52.360 know that anyone's because you look, if you're Russia and you thought, oh, 734 01:02:52.440 --> 01:03:00.679 we're gonna we're gonna capture America with those Uh no, there's some Look, 735 01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:07.480 there's some dudes sitting somewhere, probably just south of Tampa, with gun 736 01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:15.039 sights on these things the whole time. The US official, so the military 737 01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:23.039 exercise will include heightened naval and air activity. While we're disappointed that Cuba's likely 738 01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:28.480 agreed to host visiting Russian ships. We are not surprised at a US official. 739 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.280 The official later confirmed the statement from Cuba that the sub is not carrying 740 01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:44.159 any nukes. The journalist's story. If you didn't see that, stand on, 741 01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:49.239 I have some thoughts, and I'm very curious what the spin is gonna 742 01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:51.519 look like. But let me, let me, let me hit this since 743 01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:57.880 I promised it earlier. And well, you nice bed and just smashed my 744 01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:02.400 cable against something, all right, Uh, San Francisco, and I see 745 01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:12.880 what they're going to do here, Ross. I don't know why that just 746 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:15.840 made me laugh so hard. I think it's because I've been there and I 747 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:21.400 can't even imagine the grade that would be necessary for that. Idiots building the 748 01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:24.719 roads, you know what I mean? All Right, So, by the 749 01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:27.639 way, just let me give you the visual and he can retweet this. 750 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:32.519 So you know how mountain roads are very curvy, and they're very curvy because 751 01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:38.440 you're attempting to gain or I guess, uh, not gain as if you're 752 01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:42.840 headed downhill, but you're you're you're dealing with a lot of grade, You're 753 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:46.079 dealing with a lot of altitude change, and so somebody, somebody's taken an 754 01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:51.719 overhead like Google Maps picture of the road where it collapsed on the big curve 755 01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:57.079 there, and they went, why would you just go straight to connect like 756 01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:00.440 two of the bottom parts of the curve. But of course that would you 757 01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:04.960 know, create a ski slope for all practical purposes. But no, that's 758 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:11.000 a very good point. And I you know what, I'm not encouraging this, 759 01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:13.960 and I do not want any of you if you're ever presented with this 760 01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:23.960 particular situation in Wyoming, I don't need the music. In Wyoming, they 761 01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:29.480 have gates where they just they'll shut an interstate off. I'm sure, especially 762 01:05:29.519 --> 01:05:32.159 some of you truck drivers you know what I'm talking about. So if it's 763 01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:35.159 the weather's gonna get back, because they don't, there's not They always salt 764 01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:40.880 and there's way too much snow coming down sometimes, which is why the delineator 765 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:43.320 pulls on the side of the road. On some of the passes are like 766 01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:48.599 six or ten feet tall, so you can maintain visual even with that much 767 01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:51.960 snow if they're trying to dig it out. So with that in mind, 768 01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:58.000 but they have gates. So like when the weather got bad right at Buffalo, 769 01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:00.880 which is we're twenty five and ninety meters, they'll gate it and then 770 01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:05.840 you just physically can't drive on those interstates, which you know, if you're 771 01:06:05.880 --> 01:06:10.280 a traveler going through, you're off to the hotel, you go, and 772 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:15.480 you just got to wait it out. But if you're local, I know 773 01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:20.679 how to get around every gate and exactly where I need to go, and 774 01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:24.360 a lot of times I don't even need to be on a paved road. 775 01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:28.679 Ever. In fact, we we get bored during the summer and we'd see 776 01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:35.079 if we could drive from like Gillette to I don't know, Banner or something 777 01:06:35.719 --> 01:06:40.960 or spotted Horse and not. And you're only allowed to cross over paved roads 778 01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:47.159 other than that, just dirt roads. So it's not as far fetched as 779 01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:50.480 this this graphic looks, but it is kind of fun. I love. 780 01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:53.960 I'm sorry the people in the comments that are like, well, the reason 781 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:57.440 they had to make the road curving out of the way and not a straight 782 01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:00.360 line is it because then you drive more, so then you have to spend 783 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:02.599 more on gas, which profits big oil. That's exact. Well, no, 784 01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:04.679 no, no, dude. I was going back to when I used 785 01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:09.639 to lie to people and would ask dumb wyoming questions like how old is a 786 01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:12.639 deer before it's an olk? Seven and a half. By the way, 787 01:07:13.199 --> 01:07:18.920 the answer is seven and a half. You had the half and it sounds 788 01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:25.880 more absolutely correct. So yeah, I was gonna say, it's how they 789 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:29.519 get you in Wyoming to spend your your your tourist dollars. We're going to 790 01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:31.840 keep you here longer because you gotta do you know, you got ten mile 791 01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:39.400 an hour switchbacks, spend your money. Cowards? All right? So anyway 792 01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:48.719 over to this, San Francisco has announced the their very first free food market. 793 01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:57.159 Ooh yeah. The cost I guess for the initial month or something is 794 01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:00.559 five and a half million. Okay, that was to set up and fund 795 01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:05.440 the program for no, six months? Yeah, six months? Ah. 796 01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:12.199 Can you call something a market if there's no if it doesn't cost anything, 797 01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.720 is that a market? I mean, I fine, that's a small technical 798 01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:32.640 thing. But also other than the government funding this in perpetuity, like, 799 01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:38.439 what are you trying to accomplish? And then it dawned on me Ross I 800 01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:44.159 figured out what they're trying to do. You know that San Francisco has had 801 01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:54.199 some issues with saft, homelessness, THESS. Right, these are all well 802 01:08:54.239 --> 01:09:00.199 documented, right, I have heard about them, Yes, okay, and 803 01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.520 you know they're probably they're not a good look because you'll even get San Francisco 804 01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:08.760 politicians will push back to'm like, oh, you're saggerated. It's not that 805 01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:15.560 bad. No, everything's great downtown. It's not, by the way. 806 01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:20.720 So rather than continue to have a rampant steal whatever you want situation which has 807 01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:25.239 caused all of these businesses to get the hell out of the city center of 808 01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:31.000 San Francisco, just call it's something different. No, it's not a bunch 809 01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:34.880 of thieves running around stealing all the food and stuff down here. It's a 810 01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:40.720 free it's a free market. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, it's 811 01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:47.159 a market where everything's free. They're just customers. Boom. Name change solved, 812 01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:54.279 not a problem anymore. In fact, hold on, figure out which 813 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:59.560 are my seventy two mice? Is the correct one? Here? Here we 814 01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:01.720 go, all right, hold on, got something you're ready for this? 815 01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:13.159 Boom. San Francisco has announced its first five square mile open air outhouse. 816 01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:16.880 In fact, Guinness is gonna come by. It might be the biggest out 817 01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:24.199 house in the world. Five square miles open air, beautiful ocean breezes, 818 01:10:24.279 --> 01:10:29.279 little fog in the morning, co ed. That sounds impressive. You gotta 819 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:33.039 bring the non gender specific bathroom facility. What do you think right now? 820 01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:35.119 That's impressive. You got to bring the family out there to check that out. 821 01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:40.119 You check it out. Ball of twine, right, biggest ball of 822 01:10:40.199 --> 01:10:44.359 twine. Boom, big beer, big beer, boon, triple beat. 823 01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:54.000 Except this is real and the twine was too. Yeah, it's it's it's 824 01:10:54.039 --> 01:11:00.399 our new outhouse initiative, by the way. No, and it's gender any 825 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:05.520 all genders, any of them. Fine, anywhere you want five square there 826 01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:15.399 you go. You know, the tenor one district where they got all the 827 01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:20.039 the the basically the drug assisted needle situation. Like, people like that's bad, 828 01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:30.199 right, world's biggest medical clinic downtown San Francisco, directly adjacent to the 829 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:34.439 free food market and the world's largest outhouse. Have you seen the Beach of 830 01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:41.319 Needles? It's wow. Actually I've been. You know, there is a 831 01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:46.359 beach called Needles in California, you know, Yeah, although it probably isn't 832 01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:49.560 covered in needles because it's not near a lot of the insanity. But yeah, 833 01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:57.319 anyway, so anyway back to this, so Beach of Needles, Huh, 834 01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:04.119 that's nice. Can the kids find seashells there or just needles. Speaking 835 01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:06.399 of that, did you see that? You see what happened to that mom 836 01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:12.279 in California took her kids to the beach and they picked a bunch of seashells 837 01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.800 and there, and then all of a sudden, here comes here comes the 838 01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:21.039 government and what are kids that have picked up? Were clams? And of 839 01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:29.239 course in California, everything's endangered. Everything is you know, Oh, you 840 01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:31.199 guys want you guys want water, so you could all you know, you'd 841 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:38.720 be you know, not dehydrated or on fire all the time. And we 842 01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:42.000 got all this snow. Maybe we should build a reservoir. Can't the diversity 843 01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:45.039 beetle lives there? Have we seen one? But they saw one back in 844 01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:57.720 late seventies. Now we can't retain water. The four thousand square foot district 845 01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:05.680 ten free Food Market. I like how it's named like it's the Hunger Games. 846 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:13.760 Is that lost on anyone, Dude? If you live somewhere and they 847 01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:25.479 start naming stuff like the Hunger Games, move get out of there, or 848 01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:32.359 manipulate the draw. You got choices though. Now by the way, kid, 849 01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:36.880 you or I head down to the free food San Francisco Market directly adjacent 850 01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:42.279 to the world's biggest outhouse. No, Instead, you have to apply through 851 01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:46.199 the City of San Francisco and they will provide you a costco like benefits card 852 01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:50.680 that allows you access to the facility. And even though you're not paying for 853 01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:57.359 any of it, they are going to track it for who the hell knows 854 01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:01.199 why I got I don't know. But yeah, so well, I'm sure 855 01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:05.239 that'll be a big success, big success there. All Right, we got 856 01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:10.079 to talk about and I think Kylon News was playing that ross. Did you 857 01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:15.760 hear Donald Trump talking about not taxing tips on the news this morning? All 858 01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:18.359 Right, we're gonna have We're gonna have to get into this. I have 859 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:29.720 some thoughts, I have some questions, actually, and I don't I don't 860 01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:31.800 know how I feel about that, be quite honest with you, and you 861 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:42.760 know how I feel about taxes. But it's it feels so much like it 862 01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:49.640 feels so much like we're in the vote buying season. But when is it 863 01:14:49.680 --> 01:14:55.560 not vote buying but being responsive to your constituents. A lot of times it's 864 01:14:55.600 --> 01:14:59.239 based on who whether you voted for the person or not. But I think 865 01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:03.720 we can do it on an honest analysis of this and also try to game 866 01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:14.800 plan out maybe some some scenarios that could unfold if that was to be something 867 01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:18.479 that passed. So we'll share with you what he said and we'll talk about 868 01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:24.960 it coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio program. CaCO Day Radio program. 869 01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:30.760 Let's talk tips, shall we know, Not gardening tips or shooting tips 870 01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:38.479 or anything like that. I'm talking cash money, the tips that many, 871 01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:44.880 many, many many workers rely on, either as in some cases, the 872 01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:49.520 primary source of income or at the very least a significant portion of it, 873 01:15:50.439 --> 01:15:59.039 and how taxing works on that. So already it's a little loosey goose, 874 01:15:59.239 --> 01:16:03.840 right if you look at it purely from a taxman perspective and getting everything you 875 01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:14.199 owed, then you, you know, you you realize that probably not all 876 01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.319 the tips are ending up on the old tax form. And you know what, 877 01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:23.359 I encourage it. I do one of the things that I make a 878 01:16:23.560 --> 01:16:30.640 point to do, and I am about ninety nine percent successful. Sometimes it's 879 01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:33.880 just you can't do it. I always like to have cash on me. 880 01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:40.039 I'm I always find it wildly. I have friends who never have cash on 881 01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:43.439 them. They got you know, they got a host their credit cards. 882 01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:48.399 They're not poor, and they may occasionally have a little something on them. 883 01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:53.239 But and it's not because they're alligator armed kind of guys either. They just 884 01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:57.640 never carry cash. And but you gotta have smaller stuff. So I just 885 01:16:57.680 --> 01:17:00.479 let just reach in my pocket here with some uh what we got just in 886 01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:04.920 the random pants pocket this morning, let's say twenty, and like I have 887 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:10.479 like eight five dollar bills in a twenty just in my pocket. This I'm 888 01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:16.680 not bragging. I'm not bragging because if I go out to eat and I 889 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:20.640 can, I'll I like to leave a cash tip for my server or bartender, 890 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:27.079 whoever it is. And I'm not telling them, Hey, just throw 891 01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:32.159 that in your pocket, dude, But I kind of am make it easy. 892 01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:35.239 Plus, you know, I don't know how fast tips get turned around. 893 01:17:35.279 --> 01:17:43.079 And I i've worked in a tipping environment before, but I did. 894 01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:46.000 I did the pizza delivery thing when I was in college. And I did 895 01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:50.560 work at a restaurant I in Buffalo, Wyoming one summer just as kind of 896 01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:55.720 a secondary little gig, picking up some shifts there. And I liked having 897 01:17:55.760 --> 01:18:01.720 those tips. Man, thought that was great. You know, I work 898 01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:04.000 a few hours. You're not me. You're not you know, you're not 899 01:18:04.159 --> 01:18:09.520 killing it. But if I got twenty five bucks or whatever and tips going 900 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:13.239 out with my buddies that night, So like, I get it. So 901 01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:24.000 what Trump was talking about in Vegas yesterday was the taxes on those and specifically 902 01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:34.960 telling the nearly seven thousand in attendance that And I had never heard this proposal. 903 01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:41.960 He wants to end taxes on tips. Go into the home stretch a 904 01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:47.600 thirty five CaCO day radio program. Just quick little housekeeping thing. We have 905 01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:51.359 the Lieutenant governor this week. Normally we would have had him last week, 906 01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:56.840 but I had the plague, so we'll be chatting with him on Wednesday. 907 01:18:57.079 --> 01:19:00.199 So you got that, all right? Let me get back to Trump and 908 01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:14.640 the tip thing. Where is what is the dividing line between blatant vote buying 909 01:19:16.439 --> 01:19:19.840 or putting policies out and saying, hey, this is how I think we 910 01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:26.319 should do this. If you agree, you vote for me. That's you 911 01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:30.159 know, that's a point of debate. I'll give you two examples. The 912 01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:34.479 student loan stuff that threw people into a tizzy. Why should I if I 913 01:19:34.520 --> 01:19:39.319 didn't take student loans, pay for people with student loans, many of which 914 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:48.119 have careers where they make more money than me. That's a perfectly logical objection 915 01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:53.840 on the part of a lot of folks who looked at the situation and said, 916 01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:57.039 I, you know, I'm not gonna be able to go to this 917 01:19:57.359 --> 01:20:00.000 four year school and study the fine art of uh, you know, the 918 01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:06.960 the weavings of the baskets under the water or what was that? What was 919 01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:14.920 that degree that Columbia chick had, She had a bastards in it something something 920 01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:19.000 some sort of like I don't struggle poetry or say it was just ridiculous. 921 01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:25.800 So AnyWho, people looked at that and they went, this is this is 922 01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:30.600 out You're out there just buying votes. So Donald Trump says, hey, 923 01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:35.520 how about we don't tax tips? And you know me, uh as far 924 01:20:35.560 --> 01:20:42.720 as uh the id the government needs less tax money and less people and less 925 01:20:42.760 --> 01:20:46.239 power and all of that. That's you know, my general driving philosophy on 926 01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:57.600 this stuff. But if you're still going to tax income, a lot of 927 01:20:57.600 --> 01:21:00.119 people I don't get any tips. Ross, do you get tips? So 928 01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:03.159 actually, technical Ross does get tips. I'm just thinking about this, and 929 01:21:03.199 --> 01:21:08.720 you get taxed when people come to your twitch thing right and do the little 930 01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:11.680 I don't even know what it be called if it's tipping, but I get 931 01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:15.199 taxes are awful, man, and they're nightmare. You get like two, 932 01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:17.560 like ten eighty nine's from Twitch, and then you get a different one from 933 01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:19.960 stream Labs. And this will be the first year I get one from PayPal 934 01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:24.119 because they changed. They did the six hundred thing where if you get a 935 01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:30.119 right they start taxing that. Yeah. So and they are considered tips. 936 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:35.199 Yes, okay, So I guess the question is is the right thing there 937 01:21:35.279 --> 01:21:41.159 to take one stream of income, one source of income and negate it. 938 01:21:41.279 --> 01:21:45.319 And we look, we do things already differently, which is why we get 939 01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:51.640 into these insanely stupid and disingenuous capital gains versus standard income tax. That's you 940 01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:56.079 know, so Warren Buffing can come out and be like, I shouldn't pay 941 01:21:56.119 --> 01:22:00.479 more or less taxes than my nurse or whatever is exam second or terrier, 942 01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:03.840 whatever, And the reality is he doesn't. He pays an ungodly sum of 943 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:14.039 taxes because he makes a crap ton of money and when he realizes gains from 944 01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:17.159 investment, which is you, which by the way, is investment that's been 945 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:24.079 made using money that had been taxed after being used as payment to him back 946 01:22:24.079 --> 01:22:29.279 in the day. So it's technically a second bite at the apple, there 947 01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:33.520 is a different rate. We already have a progressive income tax in the US, 948 01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:39.640 and in now in North Carolina, we don't anymore, right because they 949 01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:48.279 they one sized it, but we did so already. If if you know, 950 01:22:48.319 --> 01:22:51.159 if I make five hundred thousand, by the way, I don't, 951 01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:55.239 I wish I did. If I make five hundred thousand a year, and 952 01:22:55.359 --> 01:23:01.399 Ross makes five thousand a year, his affective tax rate, mine a tax 953 01:23:01.479 --> 01:23:12.880 rate a different That's just how it is already within our system. So is 954 01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:15.439 that the way to go to eliminate that? Also, let me ask you 955 01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:20.800 this, how many now? If I want to, if I want to 956 01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:26.439 pay you a dude under the table, how about it is tip them. 957 01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:31.439 I'm not paying I'm not paying the guy who came over and fixed my retaining 958 01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:40.800 wall. I'm tipping a dude who fixes retaining walls for hobby and sport and 959 01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:45.079 I'm just so inspired by what a great retaining wall fix it job he just 960 01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:50.079 did. I'm going to give you a tip, dude, And yes, 961 01:23:50.239 --> 01:23:54.560 it does happen to be basically what I would have paid last year to actually 962 01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:57.439 pay you to do it. But hey, it's I just wanted to tip 963 01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:02.520 you good job. I'm my household slide away, and then you run into 964 01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:08.720 that situation. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm curious what 965 01:24:08.840 --> 01:24:12.000 you think. All right, Oh, here's a man who knows about tips 966 01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:15.880 from his strip club investigation days Boston, Paul, what's up? No, 967 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.880 no, I'm an audio expert. Don't forget it, say it. I'm 968 01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:27.439 your audio expert. I believe in this non toxing that tipped people because I 969 01:24:27.840 --> 01:24:30.359 already make crap money as it is, and uh, you know, I'll 970 01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:34.960 tip, I'll tip, just borrow everybody who provides a service in cash, 971 01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:39.760 always cash, because I'm a cash guy too. Look at you, Look 972 01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:43.960 at you. Finally getting it right, because well, some of these employee 973 01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:47.640 employeers will keep some of the tips. And then these you know, these 974 01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:51.119 tipped employees maybe making five bucks an hour or something, because they'll say, 975 01:24:51.119 --> 01:24:56.520 what, you're going to make tips? So yeah, we're not not very 976 01:24:56.560 --> 01:24:59.560 often. I would put a tip on a credit card because we're not going 977 01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:00.920 to get Yeah, no, I want I want him to have it. 978 01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:04.520 And also it tips like a gift, man. I mean, I understand 979 01:25:04.520 --> 01:25:09.680 that it's it's it's it's basically perfunctory, uh with you know, like in 980 01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:14.640 a dining establishment. But if if I want to give the gallager's cup, 981 01:25:14.680 --> 01:25:17.800 I got I gotta go get my hair cut today, and you know, 982 01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:21.880 I'll probably throw a few bucks away. She does a good job. But 983 01:25:21.960 --> 01:25:27.520 that's you know, I don't always have the those those little delivering something to 984 01:25:27.560 --> 01:25:29.960 the house. I'll give the guy twenty bucks. It's not Pakfast, you 985 01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:33.159 guys, twenty bucks ago get a cup of coffee. But and but I 986 01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:38.039 went to you know, buying votes. If it is for buying votes, 987 01:25:38.800 --> 01:25:42.880 who's got a better scheme then? I mean not there's a bunch of people 988 01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:47.039 with student loans, but how many people are in the tip industry. It's 989 01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:51.079 especially in Vegas. I mean, let's face it, he was Vegas is 990 01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:56.399 the place to announce that, right, It's a city that runs on tips, 991 01:25:56.479 --> 01:25:58.880 man, and it's novady. He can use the voats for this. 992 01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:02.439 Yeah, I'll tell you what. I if I had to pick a state 993 01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:06.520 that could be the most incredibly different from twenty twenty, I think it's going 994 01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:13.239 to be Nevada. They're absolutely bipolar over there, man. So yeah, 995 01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:16.800 all right, well we'll see.

And the guy at the register who 1005 01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:08.520 had who had served me was he gave he gave me the crappiest look ever 1006 01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:11.560 and then he could see where it donned on him.

I forgot all right, get out of here. 1015 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:47.359 Yeah, he's so busy, so busy doing whatever the hell Boston Paul does 1016 01:27:47.399 --> 01:27:53.159 all day. I like how he I like how he pretended like they're delivering 1017 01:27:53.239 --> 01:27:57.000 tools to his house to do work and not beer. That was good cover 1018 01:27:57.159 --> 01:28:00.119 too, sir. All right, eight forty four, let's get ray stage. 1019 01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:04.680 You can hear hey, old weather channel. We got the Yeah, 1020 01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:08.039 we got the we got the Open. I don't know if you've heard of 1021 01:28:08.119 --> 01:28:14.720 this big, big tournament, tournament Thursday. Well, I mean that's yeah. 1022 01:28:14.760 --> 01:28:17.000 Do you know how golf works. I do. I just don't follow 1023 01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.800 a lot of gul She thought they changed it up, like, I don't. 1024 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:29.159 What if we do Tuesday Friday? Why not? We could do that? 1025 01:28:29.399 --> 01:28:32.159 But yeah, and hotter weather coming in just in time? Late No, 1026 01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:36.520 ten years ago. Last time it was here was like one hundred degrees 1027 01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:40.079 every day. I swear, if you do that to me again, I'm 1028 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:45.680 bringing sharks to your house. Whoa, uh, well, so maybe not 1029 01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:49.000 one hundred in terms of temperature. I don't know how close to one hundred 1030 01:28:49.039 --> 01:28:53.319 it's going to feel and I think the hottest days this week are going to 1031 01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:58.880 be later in the week. Uh, let's see Friday Saturday, load of 1032 01:28:58.920 --> 01:29:04.239 mid nineties, so maybe ninety three to ninety five air temperature on those days, 1033 01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:06.720 and it might feel a little warmer, maybe not quite a hundred. 1034 01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:11.199 But the good news there is no rain and light winds, and until then 1035 01:29:11.239 --> 01:29:14.439 are still going to be looking at temperatures that are comfortable. The next few 1036 01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:17.159 days. Now seeing the clouds start to clear out in the mountains and into 1037 01:29:17.199 --> 01:29:20.479 the triad that clearing is coming east, will continue to see clearing sky today, 1038 01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:24.840 a little mid eighties, same thing tomorrow, overnight lows in the sixties, 1039 01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:27.640 and then we'll start to heat up Wednesday mid the upper eighties and then 1040 01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:31.159 near or above ninety between ninety and ninety five Thursday and Friday, probably Saturday 1041 01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:34.600 two is a big ridge kind of digs in the southeastern US, and even 1042 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:39.439 Sunday at are just above probably ninety degrees. So it's one days. Man, 1043 01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:41.720 I'm gonna get warm. I'm gonna get humid too, toward late week, 1044 01:29:41.800 --> 01:29:44.840 just in time for out of the open. All right, Well, 1045 01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:47.199 you know what are their shade by where they sell the beer. So then 1046 01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:50.000 you have like big aunting thing if they do that. Now, if there 1047 01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:55.720 wasn't shade, would that keep you away? Well, I have the press 1048 01:29:55.760 --> 01:30:00.640 pudential, so the I got pressed and I don't even know what those are. 1049 01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:03.600 Don't even know what those are. Never in my life have I ever? 1050 01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:08.279 Dude, it's wild. So they have like this big circus tent and 1051 01:30:08.560 --> 01:30:12.840 the radio and print in the middle, but on the edge around it are 1052 01:30:12.960 --> 01:30:17.640 all the different TV setups right for Golf Channel, for Fox Sports, but 1053 01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:23.520 they have like the Asian Golf Show out of Japan or whatever. You ever 1054 01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:27.640 see an Asian TV? How crazy it is? No, Like you just 1055 01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:30.840 be standing, they'll be They were interviewing a golfer and a dude in a 1056 01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:35.960 purple octopus suit just runs out. It's just like, hey, how about 1057 01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:40.600 some tentical stuff. Yeah, well so, and I'm just sit there watching 1058 01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:43.600 it. I'm like, this is amazing.

I'll work on it, 1061 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.199 all right, thank you, sir? All right? Yeah, yeah, 1062 01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:57.359 and then we'll come back to youat with Jeff Bellinger. Next hang on 1063 01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:00.760 Good Morning, Casey Stock's pulled back, and Friday's trading. After the Labor 1064 01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:06.199 Department reported that job creation was much stronger than expected in May. Losses for 1065 01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:11.079 the major averages ranged from a tenth to a quarter of a percent. We 1066 01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:15.920 get the Conference Board's Employment Trends index after the markets opened this morning. It 1067 01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:19.039 could offer some clues to the pace of hiring in the months ahead. At 1068 01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:25.079 the moment, the futures are modestly lower now futures down fifty seven points. 1069 01:31:25.359 --> 01:31:30.640 The Federal Reserve's policy meeting and new readings on inflation highlight the economic calendar for 1070 01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:34.359 this week. Both events will happen on Wednesday, and the analysts say we 1071 01:31:34.399 --> 01:31:40.880 could see some volatility on Wall Street ahead of those events. A Microsoft took 1072 01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:45.399 the wraps off some new video games and new consoles to play them on at 1073 01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:49.520 its Summer Fest event. Over the weekend, the software giants Xbox division announced 1074 01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:55.840 plans for new entries in the Doom in Years of War franchises. Rising home 1075 01:31:55.920 --> 01:32:00.479 prices and high mortgage rates make it hard to become a homeowner, and inflation 1076 01:32:00.720 --> 01:32:04.159 has caused the cost of being a homeowner to soar. Bank Rate reports the 1077 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:10.720 cost of owning a home has increased twenty six percent since twenty twenty. Taxes, 1078 01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:15.560 insurance premiums, and utilities have all risen, and the average annual cost 1079 01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:19.520 of owning and maintaining a typical single family home is more than eighteen thousand dollars 1080 01:32:19.720 --> 01:32:25.760 on top of mortgage payments and Casey, the softening in the labor market has 1081 01:32:25.800 --> 01:32:30.760 shifted the balance of power back to employers. Workers are less confident about their 1082 01:32:30.840 --> 01:32:34.800 ability to find new jobs, so the number of people voluntarily quitting their jobs 1083 01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:40.079 as close to a three year low. Fewer people quitting means fewer are getting 1084 01:32:40.159 --> 01:32:45.000 promotions. The chief economist at Glassdoor says it's especially hard now for entry level 1085 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:48.720 workers to move up. Casey, what you want to do on the home 1086 01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:53.960 thing, Jeff, is squat. It's much cheaper. Okay, just do 1087 01:32:54.119 --> 01:32:57.279 nothing, Okay, yeah, to find a house be like mine now. 1088 01:32:57.520 --> 01:33:01.640 And then I've seen up at the following that story in New York. Yes, 1089 01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:08.119 oh my gosh, so that guy's saving bucks right there. So all 1090 01:33:08.199 --> 01:33:10.680 right, so there you go. That's my pro tip for you, Jeff, 1091 01:33:10.760 --> 01:33:12.239 have a good one. Okay, Well, thank you for that. 1092 01:33:12.399 --> 01:33:15.760 You have a good day. Look at that save Jeff a bunch of money 1093 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:20.800 and maybe you yeah, you just got a squad that I would try it 1094 01:33:20.880 --> 01:33:25.079 at homes in Johnston County. Let me know how, the guy you go 1095 01:33:25.239 --> 01:33:28.000 first, go ahead? You know how that goes? All right? To 1096 01:33:28.079 --> 01:33:30.239 the phones. On the tipping issue, let's start with Chris, what's up, 1097 01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:35.239 Chris? Hey, good morning, Casey. So tips to ensure prompt 1098 01:33:35.359 --> 01:33:39.880 service, and I always tip fifty to eighty percent of the bill, and 1099 01:33:40.039 --> 01:33:44.239 the people really appreciate it, and it almost ensures me like a spot, 1100 01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:47.279 like they remember me when I come back and I get just such great service 1101 01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:54.640 from tipping really well. But I don't believe Trump's actually trying to buy votes 1102 01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:58.920 like the Democrats do. The Democrats like to really buy votes. He's just 1103 01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:02.359 trying to relieve an oppression from people, is what I see. I should 1104 01:34:02.439 --> 01:34:06.680 tax as oppressive. You know, people too much money are oppressed. So 1105 01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:11.920 some of the some people think student loans because you have the right to well, 1106 01:34:11.960 --> 01:34:14.199 you haven't know. Because I've gotten a student loan and I had to 1107 01:34:14.279 --> 01:34:16.680 pay it back and I chose to get the loan. We don't choose to 1108 01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:20.439 get taxed. They just take our money. It's not like we're paying taxes. 1109 01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:25.279 That's and this is why I'm conflicted on it. This is why I'm 1110 01:34:25.279 --> 01:34:29.640 conflicted on it because it feels like this, But also I understand saying I, 1111 01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:32.439 you know, maybe we shouldn't do this, but also maybe you shouldn't 1112 01:34:32.479 --> 01:34:35.880 tax radio guys so much. I was just thinking that, so we shouldn't 1113 01:34:35.920 --> 01:34:41.079 tax anybody. We should feel free, but mostly not radio gas people, 1114 01:34:41.319 --> 01:34:46.239 mostly not radio guys radio. Real quick? This person you tip eighty percent? 1115 01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:51.680 What time is she on stage? She's not on stage, mostly bartenders 1116 01:34:53.199 --> 01:34:58.880 and waitress. I don't go to script clubs because who brought up a strip 1117 01:34:59.000 --> 01:35:01.720 club? Sir? I didn't bring out strip you did? All right? 1118 01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:05.560 Get out of your perv? Ross? Did I say strip club? I 1119 01:35:05.640 --> 01:35:10.439 didn't say no?
